This is That - CBC's Hit Radio Comedy

CBC Radio’s hit comedy show, This is That, is heading to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre on a new date, Friday, March 2, 2018 at 7:30pm.

This is That is making a stop in the Cowichan Valley for an evening of non-stop laughter. It's an intimate look behind the studio door of CBC's award-winning satirical radio show as hosts Peter Oldring and Pat Kelly bring their popular BEST OF live show to the stage.

With a healthy mix of character interviews and mockumentary stories, this live send up of public radio doesn’t just talk about the issues, it makes it up! Nothing is off limits–politics, business, culture, justice, science –if it’s relevant to Canadians, This is That finds a way to fabricate a story.

If you have ever been curious how just two guys provide all the voices for this completely improvised radio comedy, then this is the show for you.
